Trauma‑Informed, Somatic EMDR in Weybridge
Trauma is not just a story from the past—it is a set of protective patterns living in the present. My work in Weybridge offers safety‑first EMDR that respects how your body has kept you going, while helping it release what it no longer needs to carry.
We begin by stabilising the nervous system with grounding, orienting and breath work. As somatic awareness grows, we track where protection lives—tightness, collapse, agitation—and meet it with care. When you feel ready, we use bilateral stimulation to process the memories, emotions and split‑second beliefs that keep those patterns alive. Pacing is slow and collaborative so the work remains within your window of tolerance.
Body‑based practices support integration between sessions: self‑contact, safe movement and simple rituals that reinforce safety at home and in daily life. Many clients notice more space inside, steadier sleep and a kinder inner voice. The aim is not to “get over” what happened, but to help your system know it is safe now, so life can widen again.
Appointments are available in person in Weybridge and online across the UK, with consistent care from first contact to final integration.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. How do you keep trauma processing safe and manageable?
We build strong grounding, choice and collaboration first. Processing uses bilateral stimulation in small steps, with pauses so your system stays inside its window of tolerance.
Q2. Is body‑based work essential for trauma recovery?
Yes. Trauma lives in patterns of protection. Somatic awareness, breath and micro‑movement help the body learn that it no longer has to brace so hard.
Q3. Can I combine in‑person sessions in Weybridge with online work?
Absolutely. Many clients blend both for flexibility. Each session ends with integration so you leave steadier and supported.
